But she ended up being charged around £291 PER TICKET, plus a massive £280 booking fee, £22 delivery fee and £65 in vat.

When she got the final confirmation Charlotte realised she had been charged a grand total of £1,329.41.

Now she says she may have to move in to her parents' house and sell her car to pay off her credit card debt.

She told the Manchester Evening News: “After a horrible year last year all I wanted was to start this year off with a bang and see my idol. Instead I’m now in £1,329.41 worth of debt.

“I was rushing to buy the tickets because when you’re putting your details in lots of pop ups come on the screen saying there are 20 people waiting for these tickets. You’re also being timed.

“I thought I had paid £377 for all three tickets. Turns out that was per ticket as well as a large booking fee.

Charlotte tweeted the star to tell him of her plight

"I have tried everything to get my money back from Viagogo but they have refused and I feel like I have been misled into buying over priced tickets.

"I had never heard of Viagogo before and didn’t realise they could do this.”

Charlotte contacted her credit card company and tried to stop the transaction but ws too late.

The phone shop assistant - who thought she was buying the tickets directly off Ed Sheeran’s official site – has reached out to the star to help.

She tweeted him: “All I wanted was to see your face and instead I got scammed, paid £1329 for tickets.”
She said: “This has caused me severe financial problems and I may have to move back home or sell my car to cover the costs, as i haven’t got that kind of money.

The bill was over triple the amount she thought it would be

“I really want to spread the word so others don’t make this mistake and end up in a mess like myself."

Another fan, Julie Ferguson, told The Sun that Viagogo had charged her £1675.08 for FIVE tickets.

Julie, from Cheshire, was buying the tickets for her niece and thought she was paying £250 until she saw the final bill.

She tried to get the bank to refund the money but with no luck and all her efforts to get in touch with Viagogo failed.
